Expo is a great 4nterna- tional affair but much of the credit for this remarkable achievement belongs to Can- ada and to Montreal in par- ticular. The talents and imagination of all Canada set the pattern and rew the plans but in the end it was the good- will, the hard work -and the real enthusiasm of the people which brought plans and ideas into visible shape. I want to take this oppor- tunity to express my personal admiration for the thousands of men and women who have devoted themselves to the ment of novel displays, have all combined to make this one of the great events of our time. Yet the most significant feature, and the one which should give all Canadians the greatest. satisfaction, «| more than 60 countries ac- cepted Canada's invitation to take part in this festival of human endeavor. Their parti- cipation reflects Canada's standing in the \eyes of the world; a country with whom _all nations can be at peace and on terms of friendship. In the circymstances of the world today, fhis is something for which fwe should all feel deeply jthankful, The }wonders of scientific discov@ry and the remarkable ingenuity of modern technol- ogy are here for all to see and admire. They represent some of mankinds greatest achieve- ments. Beside them, and of equal importance, are crea- tions drawn from the artistic and cultural workshops of the world. Let us not forget that of all human activities the what universal neighborhood can achieve.

"I never felt so fyoud to be a Canadian as I do tday," said one organizer of Monfreal's cel- ebrations, summarizihg what seemed to be a general feeling from coast to coast on Domin- ion Day, July 1. A basic nationwide menu of parades, parties, barbequcs, street dances, gun salutes ,and gathering of Scottish clans in Nova Scotia, a moose-calling contest in Saskatchewan. The weekend celebrations were not without a note of gloom, however, as at least 77 persons were reported killed in accidents. Five persons suffered injuries in fireworks accidents in Brant- ford and Sault Ste.

He referred to Expo as "one of those rather accidental mira- {glen of history" that suddenly crystallizes a country's true character. "It is becoming apparent te the world, at last, that we are |not merely an arctic extension |of the United States.
